USEFULNESS IN WORK OF WOMEN'S CLUBS Women's clubs have been very prominently before the people of California for the last few days. The biennial session of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, at Los Angeles, has been a very notable gathering. It has not been merely a social conclave—although there have been many delightful social functions in connection with the convention. Serious problems, some of them world-wide, have engaged the earnest attention of the assembled delegates. Positive stand has been taken on world peace and other questions of import. The influence of this session will be felt throughout the land and all over the world. Development of women's clubs has been remarkable, in this country. Not to speak of the exclusively social clubs, there are thousands of organizations throughout the country, of earnest-minded women who are devoting themselves to a study of politics, economic subjects, social questions, literature, art, science, current events, and so forth. The impress of women's clubs upon the life of the community is strong. It exerts cultural, reformative, progressive influence. California has been greatly pleased to entertain this important gathering of influential club women from all parts of the country. There will be no extra session of Congress. Will someone please start the long-meter doxology? EARNESTNESS LIFE'S KEYNOTE The person who lacks earnestness in life lacks the secret of real living. The inspired writer sets it down this way: "Not clothful in business, fervent in spirit." This is the need of California has been greatly pleased to entertain this important gathering of influential club women from all parts of the country. There will be no extra session of Congress. Will someone please start the long-meter doxology? EARNESTNESS LIFE'S KEYNOTE The person who lacks earnestness in life lacks the secret of real living. The inspired writer sets it down this way: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit." This is the need of modern life—freedom from slothfulness; fervency in business. Fervency is reality. The fervent person is intense. Intensity betokens life. Sloth is slow death. Earnestness need not shut out all brightness and cheerfulness. Far from it. Some of the most earnest persons are notably cheerful and genial. This sometimes is called the "jazz" age. Some think that in almost every walk of life there is frenzy of some form—that present-day life is not normal and well balanced. This, perhaps, is an extreme view. But there is much frivolity and frenziness in pursuit of pleasure to the exclusion of serious endevors. In these things, life should be balanced. So much of earnest, useful effort, so much of wholesome pastime. There should be neither extreme in working too hard and too incessantly, or the other extreme—playing too much and shirking the serious work of life. Children should not be permitted to die of hunger in forign lands, without generous relief from the United States. Mexico is tranquil to the point of dullness as it awaits its Presidential election. Happy is Mexico when it can be tranquil in a Presidential year. Away with the firetraps housing defective humdu beings in this state! These pitiful beings should not be exposed to the hazards of death by fire. There should be a thorough house cleaning as to this. Mothers! Give the children WRIGLEY'S after every meal A prominent physician says: "It is surprising how free from decay the teeth can be kept by using gum after each meal." You know how hard it is to get the children to clean their teeth. By giving them WRIGLEY's care, A prominent physician says: "It is surprising how free from decay the teeth can be kept by using gum after each meal." You know how hard it is to get the children to clean their teeth. By giving them WRIGLEY'S you not only reward them for cleaning their teeth, but the reward is actually the means of performing this important service! WRIGLEY'S aids digestion too, and acts as an anti-septic wash for the mouth and throat. Several flavors-all of WRIGLEY quality. The Flavor Lasts WRIGLEYS JUICY FRUIT CHEWING GUM Sealed in its Purity Package It is fine to get back to nature if you can have one hand free to scratch bites next day. Some dads are queer. They keep buying beefsteak when not one of the girls has a silk nightie. Leonardo was a great student of anatomy, and there were no musical comedies in his day, either. A haughty Congress can't break the spirit of a President who can survive all the puns made on him. The man who thinks virtue always is rewarded never tried hugging his straw hat in a crowded elevator. Another difference between a conviction and a prejudice is that you can inherit one from your grandfather. No man is great enough to inspire awe after you have seen him making his toilet in a Pullman car. Every American entry for the Olympics should tell us how the name is pronounced in his native country. And so women are influenced by a candidate's pulchritude? Red-blooded men, however, will yield to platitudes only. Old Ben Franklin said there never was a good war or a bad peace, which goes to show how times change. When a candidate gives up, he is so low in spirit that there is no way to hurt him except to play a saxophone at him. Correct this sentence: "I don't mind the operation." said he: "it's just that I can't spare the time." (Protected by Associated Editors, Inc.) Classified Ads Bring Good Results. Try this medium.

AGRAPHS BERT QUILLEN ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES The colonel was delivering an address to junior officers up for examination. He dwell with much emphasis on the fact that each officer should devote the intervening time to preparing for the final examination. "The examination papers," he said, "are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any questions to be asked?" Silence prevailed. Suddenly a voice from the rear quietly inquired: "Who's the printer, sir?" Jones, newlywed wanted experienced advice. He sought out Brown, "You're married, aren't you?" Yes." Well, what do you do when your wife says she has nothing more to say?

The estimates have been based on school attendance records, postal receipts, building permits, water and electric light connections and telephone installations. The figures on Riverside tally well with local estimates. There will be some surprise, however, at the rating given to San Bernardino. The population table for the seventeen leading cities in the state follows: | State | 1910 | 1924 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Los Angeles | 575,000 | 865,000 | | San Francisco | 506,674 | 572,867 | | Oakland | 216,261 | 220,451 | | Long Beach | 55,593 | 111,186 | | San Diego | 74,683 | 99,677 | | Sacramento | 65,903 | 85,689 | | Fresno | 45,088 | 72,123 | | Berkeley | 56,036 | 70,045 | | Pasadena | 45,354 | 62,499 | | San Jose | 39,642 | 43,555 | | Stockton | 40,296 | 40,509 | | Aalameda | 28,806 | 32,407 | | San Bernardino | 18,721 | 31,301 | | Santa Barbara | 19,441 | 29,161 | | Riverside | 19,241 | 25,778 | | Bakersfield | 16,638 | 24,229 | | Santa Ana | 15,485 | 23,227 | Los Angeles is claiming over a million population and will naturally be prompt to challenge this estimate. It will be noted that the only city in the list which is not credited with a substantial growth is Stockton. The writer is somewhat puzzled at this estimate. He drove through Stockton a Why Electricity Must be Saved On account of the unusually light rainfall during the past winter, Power companies throughout the state who use water power for the generation of electricity are now faced with an acute shortage. On the Edison system the two principal sources of water power supply are the Kern River east of Bakersfield and the tributaries of the San Joaquin River northeast of Fresno. Kern River is carrying only 25 per cent of the water usually available on this date. On the Big Creek System where water is stored in Huntington Lake the amount available is less than 25 per cent of normal. This lake which has a capacity of 88,000 acre feet now holds less than 20,000 acre feet and practically no more will flow in until next April. Under the supervision of the Railroad Commission plans have been formulated to protect the essential requirements of all power users throughout the state. This will be done by directing the use of the power so that non-essential service will be curtailed until the present situation is relieved. To this end the Edison Company has prepared a power budget which assigns to each of its operating districts the amount of power available for each month. The District Manager in turn will ar- Under the supervision of the Railroad Commission plans have been formulated to protect the essential requirements of all power users throughout the state. This will be done by directing the use of the power so that non-essential service will be curtailed until the present situation is relieved. To this end the Edison Company has prepared a power budget which assigns to each of its operating districts the amount of power available for each month. The District Manager in turn will arrange so that this power will be distributed equitably among all the consumers in his district. To accomplish this some rigid rules will be put into effect which will eliminate the use of certain kinds of service which the committee representing all of the interests throughout the state considers unnecessary. The situation is unforeseen and absolutely unavoidable. Wherever restrictions are made they are necessary to conserve the power for the use of farmers to mature their crops and to supply industry and maintain payrolls. Without supervision the crop would suffer and industrial workers would be laid off. We ask our consumers to aid in every possible way to reducing the consumption of electric energy by shorter hours of use and, wherever possible, the substitution of other devices to conduct their work.
